For as by the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man’s obedience the many will be made righteous. (Romans 5:19 ESV)
More Victory
I like, and sometimes think I need, coffee in the morning. I have a basic but excellent espresso machine in its specific place. I have a tub of my favorite espresso grounds.
But no coffee arrives until those things enter my actual physical world.
I have a book series I have intended to read for many years. I understand the series, am intrigued by the series, and know exactly where the series exists in my library.
But no reading happens until those books enter my actual physical world.
Our salvation, the end of sin’s curse, our redemption, our necessary atonement needed to physically manifest in our world. It could not merely be an idea. God Himself had to enter this world. He had to be born as a man, without losing His divinity.
Christ had to be physically righteous, from birth to death, for His righteousness to count as ours.
The Incarnation makes our salvation real.
